Commands to deploy, update, and undeploy dataclasses

Use these commands to delploy, update, and undeploy dataclasses in InfoSphere® Information Analyzer projects.

The basic syntax of a command to deploy dataclasses is:

IAAdmin -user user_name -password password -url https://host:port -deployDataClasses <jar file containing the custom jar and xml file>

You must run the following command on the engine tier in addition to the above command for java classifier deployment.

IAAdmin.bat -installClassifiers <location of MainJar>

For example, the following command deploys the data class artifacts specified by the jar or xml file:

IAAdmin -user admin -password admin -url https://myhost:9443 -deployDataclasses dataclasses.jar

The basic syntax of a command to update dataclasses is:

IAAdmin -user user_name -password password -url https://host:port -updateDataClasses <jar file containing the custom jar and xml file>

For example, the following command updates the data class artifacts specified by the jar or xml file:

IAAdmin -user admin -password admin -url https://myhost:9443 -updateDataClasses dataclasses.jar

The basic syntax of a command to undeploy dataclasses is:

IAAdmin -user user_name -password password -url https://host:port -undeployDataClasses <jar file containing the custom jar and xml file>

You must run the following command on the engine tier in addition to the above command for java classifier deployment.

IAAdmin.bat -deinstallClassifiers <location of MainJar>

For example, the following command undeploys the data class artifacts specified by the jar or xml file:

IAAdmin -user admin -password admin -url https://myhost:9443 -undeployDataClasses dataclasses.jar

Note: The file can be a jar or xml. If jar file is used, it should contain:

The xml file which contains the data class definitions, adhering to schema DataClassesDefinition.xsd
Optionally, the properties file which contain names and descriptions of data classes extracted from the xml file
